Can I change the orientation of the "X", "Y" positions / Coordinates

OK first things first; I'm running this on a Windows 7 Desktop machine using CorelDraw X3.

 

I've been using CorelDraw since version 4 and due simply to laziness I've never explored past the default configuration of the program install.

 

So I have some time on my hands and I'm tired of always having to go back and manually fix issues caused by the default program setup.

 

Here's what I want to do...

 

Basically I work from the top / left down. Kind of like webpage setup's. So when I give something positioning coordinates I want my Default "0" reference point to be Top / Left.  Also when I create a duplicate object (CTRL+D)  I want the "Y " coordinate to be down rather than up. In other words when I enter the Duplicate values in the property bar I don't want to always have to enter the Y value as "-x.xxx"

 rather than just simply "x.xxx"

 

Rather curiously the "X" coordinate is orientated as one would expect.
